Ask me again 10 years after Longhorn ships, when people in countries other than the US can actually afford the hardware it requires.

Err, you don't think that people outside have good hardware?
Are you kidding or are you just another narrow-minded american.
In many cases Europe and Japan are more high-tech than USA

I am *not* kidding, and the marketing guys here can prove it. Perhaps in Europe, things are better. But in Latin America and eas Asia, things are not. In fact we have to continue to support old OSes (e.g., Windows 98) mostly becuase of that.

So true. How can I use XAML when it does not exist yet?

Well technically it does exist, the Longhorn releases do support it - but it's not implemented on any platform that real developers are using. That's why I like MyXaml, it's here now and does what I need it to today.

I'm a little disappointed that the poll doesn't contain a "Yes, MyXaml / Xamlon/ XUL" option.

Agreed, but I didn't say informative, just informal. Certainly not very scientific either. But, if the CP poll is any indicator, most people don't even know what XAML is! So much for a market, eh?
